698275 2008-08-18 02:54:00 Hi,

Recently i tried Avg free 8 but it took more than 3 hours for scanning my computer.

Can someone explain to me whether it's normal or just setting problem?

Thanks in advance.

I would unistall avg and reinstall it update and try again.
Seems a lot of people here are avast fans but avast caused me problems on a bad install. Although someone said there is a special program you can get to get rid of it

It's gone downhill terribly with the last "upgrade's"

You would be better following others advice and moving to Avast instead.

Before I got 8.0 it only took a short time for the antivirus software to run it's scan. Now it takes hours! 2 to 4 hours & it slows everything down....


@ Prefect - Avast didn't cause your problems - they way you "handled things" did!
